Christian Troels Mutatio Lamp

Look at the Mutatio Lamp, created by Danish designer Christian Troels. What an elegant expression of form, going from a minimalist black cylinder, to an angled abstract shape. In its closed state the lamp is a nondescript cylinder. Just a black tube that doesn’t reveal its true purpose. As it opens up, it not only makes apparent its functionality, and taking on a familiar yet new shape for a table lamp. When open it feels so familiar, yet visually fresh. Christian Troels’ Mutatio Lamp goes from simple to magical and playful in one motion. It looks like it is constructed aluminum, or steel, and painted black. Unfortunately there isn’t a whole lot of information on his website, and nothing about where or if it can actually be purchased. Which is to bad, because I think these would be a hot item.

Ozone from David D’Imperio.

One of the things I love about technology is how it is helping designers realize and manufacture products that would have been difficult or costly to make just a few years ago. A great example of this is a new lamp from designer David D’Imperio.

Ozone features a stainless steel cluster of discs that are affixed to an aluminum interior structure. The lighting fixture feels airy and weightless, thanks to the manufacturing process, choice of materials and the tight tolerances within the build process. Thanks to the design and manufacturing process, this lamp is available at 6 feet in length or at 50 inches. Even thought the lamp is in many ways huge, the stainless steel canopy is visually very light.

Ozone Measures approximately 72″ long x 10″H high x 5″ wide or 50″ long x 8″H high x 5″ wide. Power can be connected off-center at multiple points along its length. Suspended on either end via adjustable cables.

Let There Be Light.

English designer Andrew Mitchell has created a new pendant lamp that is simple, elegant, and characterizes the iconic shape of the light bulb itself. “No 2” is a clear blown glass pendant suspended from a thin cord that attaches to the glass with metal wires.

The wires mirror the traditional filament used in an incandescent bulb, and the attachment to the cord feels like a vintage bulb socket. None of this however takes away from the lamps main purpose which is to celebrate the light itself. Your attention is drawn inside the glass sphere to the bulb, where it takes center stage.

Jake Dyson’s CSYS Lamp, Provides Stylish Light for 37 Years.

Here it is the day after Christmas, and if you are like many people you have a bunch of gifts you want to exchange. Maybe if you are lucky, you don’t have any gifts to exchange, but your pockets are full of Christmas bounty in the form of cash that you can use to buy yourself something nice.

I don’t have a pocket full of cash, but if I did I’d be tempted to buy Jake Dyson’s CSYS lamp. It is a thing of precision beauty, and while it might cost you around $800.00, the light bulbs last for 37 years so you get to make up some of your cash outlay over time.
